"I didn’t play my best out there, but just to have the support and appreciation from all the fans, I don’t think words can describe that," Woods tweeted. "Congratulations to Scottie Scheffler on an outstanding win. It’s been a special run."

Woods made the cut after the first two rounds and, essentially, the entire world was watching him. The final two rounds weren’t ideal as he shot back-to-back 78s, his highest scores ever at Augusta. He finished 13-over par and toward the bottom of the leader board when his fourth round was over.

It was his first event against high-level competition since he was seriously injured in a February 2021 car crash. Woods was in range of the leaders after the first round, shooting a surprising 71, which put him 1-under par for the course in the first round. He shot a second-round 74. He was just 1-over par going into the third round and he made the cut too, giving fans two extra days to see what he could do.

Jon Rahm, who partnered with Woods for the final round, saw just how much the 46-year-old was struggling on the final day.
